GryphN Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I've never been to a Black Friday sale before... I saw an ad for the 22" Widescreen Westinghouse LCD for $199 and decided I need one. :) Anyone happen to have any idea when would be a good time to show up? They open at 5am (I'm sure most of you know that though) ... Also, any suggestions on things to do/bring for the wait? I'd like to bring a folding chair, but I don't know if they'll let me in with it, and I don't want to get out of line to put it back in my truck, ya know? :) Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving! --GryphN

Happy Thanksgiving!--GryphNWelcome to the community! If you want the LCD I would get into line around 7pm to 9pm local time on Thursday.

Mennovh Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 You really think that early for a non door buster item? I was thinkin about getting there around midnight to get this item myself. There are about 7-8 best buys around pittsburgh so i thought midnight would be an alright time to go.
AndreaInNC Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I always see what the min is per store listed in the ad (say 10) then I times that by how many stores there are in my area (3) and then ask myself .. would 30 other people want this too ??? Then I remember how many people live in my area .. TONS

You have to take some issues into account that are special for this year like...... * Ads were leaked on this site weeks before BF.* Best Buy released there ad 5 days before Thanksgiving. Last year and in years past they have always released it in the Tday paper.* BB and other stores are pushing flat and HDTVs this year. BB CEO in a investor call last month told investors that in the BB culture BF will not be BF but it will be called Flat Friday.* First time that 32' and 42' will be under $1000.00 There are some factors that I am weighing in when I am telling people what time to get into line. Good luck!
Mennovh Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 yeah i guess ya got a point there, maybe 9pm doesnt sound so bad now.

nk126 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I just picked up the 22" westinghouse monitor in hopes of price adjusting on Fri or Sat. The BB I went to had 28 of them in stock (Wed around noon).
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Please continue discussion here - http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=50978 If you don't get in line early around 7-9PM, you will probably regret it. $249 laptop, $379 laptop, $189 desktop, $379 LCD HDTV, $999 Plasma those are going to be VERY popular this year.
